If you haven't been to Kansas City, you can at least make your taste buds travel there and taste their perfect barbecue. We've got a recipe for a Kansas City-style dry rub that will make your meat (and your mouth) sing with joy!

This dry rub recipe is the perfect blend of spices and seasonings to make your meat taste like a masterpiece.
